Detection of<i>M. tuberculosis</i>DNA in TB contacts’ PBMC does not associate with blood RNA signatures for incipient tuberculosis

2023-09-26

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> <h4>Background</h4> We have previously reported detection of genomic DNA of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) of asymptomatic adults with recent household exposure to an index case of infectious pulmonary tuberculosis (TB). It is not known whether this phenomenon indicates quiescent Mtb infection or incipient TB disease. <h4>Methods</h4> We did a cross-...
